Default What kinda lube do you use?
Getting ready to set up my 3.73s and Detriot Trutrac. Just wondering what everyone's preferred lube was. Not looking forward to 500 miles of good behavior.

Do not run synthetic with the Detroit Trutrac, as it may not function properly, the syn is actually too slippery. There were a few threads about this not too long ago. You want to run a 80w-90 or 75w-90 conventional gear oil.

That's what I wanted to hear, I remembered hearing that synthetic wouldn't work but couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks guys.
